LadyBarbossa

I can't really be too picky on the subject of the figures.. cause if this bombs, then the future of them would be in jeopardy, that's for sure. I'm rather thrilled with Barbossa. I admit... they all look rather good for being action figures. It annoys me greatly as to how picky people get abot figures now. Umm.. I remember the old action figures.. like the first Star Wars action figures & even the early 80's GI Joes... Umm.. yeah... I CANNOT complain about the PotC figures. These kick aft! Though... the feather on Will's & Barbossa's hats.. could either have been the plastisized.. or add a few more. Prefer the plastic type. But... I'll be adding a few more to make it look a little better. That thin black fluff just doesn't look right.

Thanx, Bess. Good to hear they enjoyed themselves. Wacky & wild like in a classroom? No "cannon" spitballs or paper bullets flying around?

Squee!!! Ahhh.. thank ye kindly! Ye've made this piratess a VERY happy piratess indeed! Ne'er could I tire of Barbossa. More.. more I say! :) Curious to see what Elizabeth will look like though. Which outfit she will wear. Hopefully the Barbossa dress.

Wishng everyone the best. & hope that tensions are low & the excitement & fun is high! :) & condolences to Depp. He planning on attending Hunter's funeral?

I have one of those double sided key rings that you can place a little wallet size photo in... I have a pic of Barbossa on one side. ::le sigh; le swoon:: Oh! .. I mentioned this a few places... but I have spoted the PotC figures at the local Suncoast here in Cedar Rapids! They look FABULOUS! I was HIGHLY impressed. A friend of mine doesn't believe they look like the characters... but I say they are spot on! Well.. worth the 12 for them. :) So if you have a Suncoast or MediaPlay... check them out. I didn't see them at the Hot Topics here, or Spencers. I haven't checked out Toys R Us.. yet. I have Barbossa on hold for me until I pick him up on Wed. :: Evil grinz:: sounds a little erie, doesn't it?

I have waited a LONG time - ok, over a year - to get ahold of one. & now.. I do. Worth the wait. As I mentioned... mine was sent to me by a fellow pirate. Part of my payment for a fine dress that I made for them. I wear mine constantly now ahhh.. I heard of the silver one. Oooh, would be VERY nice to get hold of the silver one as well! For silver means "death".. brass means "resurrection".. an' gold obviously means "deity". Hey.. Mr. Arenberg's not that bad looking.. I'll side with Keira on that one! :) If it be a cursed coin that brings in that lot of gents... I wouldn't mind.

I don't know if I can get ahold of another El Fantasma... I have him but won't give him up. I'll see if I can get one. Otherwise.. if you are able to... there is a chat list specifically for Pirates of the Spanish Main/Crimson Coast/Revolution on Yahoogroups. Trading is done there & I have gotten a good few ships & characters via those gracious gents on the list. Including El Fantasma. Pirates of the Spanish Main CSG I have who I want.... El Fantasma & the Ghost crew, Calico Cat, Blackheart, Genny Gallows & her Red Rampage... Gaspar Zuan & Fidel The Harbringer, Revenant, Shadow, Revenge...pretty much all the pirate ships except the El Ballista & the Bloody Throne. I still need those 2. Looking forward to Crimson Coast which will be out March 2nd. Thus far, I want Crimson Angel(character) & the Deliverance(ship - ghost ship to be exact).

I know a few out there have posted getting them... But.. I'd figured making this more.. "Official" I'M LOVING IT! A pirate friend of mine got it for me... & it's just fabulous! Alas, the Master Replicas site if down for the moment... but.. it's available in various places... I have yet to find it around here. I wear it all the time. At first .. no recognition.. but.. nearly every day.. someone recognizes it... "It's the Aztec gold!" .. "It's the gold from Pirates!" Kids love it more so... they want one! I hope it's put out in more places locally... cause otherwise.. people will not know it's available.. & no one will buy it. To have a look see... BigBadToystore online has them Aztec Gold

ehhh I figured as much. I never go to it.. but a few people I know do... I don't usually rely upon it's accuracy.. since I have to agree.. I have found it often wrong... Especially about upcoming films. Cool. Thanx, Grey... There was someplace I heard about a supposed storyline.. which I read & LOVED it.. can't wait to see it... I haven't really said anything about it.. other than there will be sequels.. you should see the faces light up on people.. & kids!

Awww.. bummers! Tis a pity I can't go! T'was a fav childhood film of mine! One of my favs still.

Hmmm.. how odd. True enough one can order the online. Hope & wish ya luck there. But.. otherwise... gaming stores should carry them... like places where you role playing diehards would go in to a specialty gaming store that sells nothing but Warhammer pieces, sets... YuGiOh & Magic cards.. even Star Wars cards & figure pieces... Or whatever those other silly little tiny model like pieces so as to use them for playing out a story or whatever. If they don't carry them... I'd be shocked. Truthfully. We've a couple gaming stores here - Battlezon, Video Games, Etc, Mak's Collectibles.... They all have them & can't hardly keep them in stock. Well.. again.. I wish ya luck. It's well worth getting. The ships are fabulous. That require care but well worth having.

Naw.. just to be an observer in the room... Now.. bloody funny how manytimes the Lightsaber effect will be used for the swords! Gonna be there, Bess? If that be the case.. our sympathies. OK.. this is somewhat confusing to me... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0383574/ Info on Dead Man's Chest.. but... is this true? Kinda doesn't seem to fit. Unlike someplace else I read from that made far better sense.

Oh, don't get me wrong, Marjon... Barbossa is STILL my fav & love him even as the undead.. (& that says A LOT! I am VERY fearful of the dead & corpses. :: Shivers:: Dead things & I do NOT mix)... ::le sigh:: ahh.. Barbossa... But .. a lady can still gawk at eye candy. & Groves is most DEFINITELY eye candy. :) Ooooo.. Bess! Can't wait then to see what Fun Norrington has. :) & his "STUFF"! Oh, how will Keira be able to handle so many men?!? ::le sigh::: though.. again... I kinda still have to go with Marjon... eager & dying(no pun intended) to see more of Barbossa. :: Swooning:::

Really? How odd. Cause here in CR.. there are 3 card & game stores that carry them.. plus the Super Target that carries them. It's an IBER hot item! They can hardly keep them on the shelves!

Why... thank ye kindly, Patrick. Such a sweet gent. A good slew of us women enjoy keepin' ya gents upon your toes. Ooooh... I agree with ya, Kalum. There can be & is a happy medium between the fantasy fun & the historical accuracy. Heck.. the movies do it.. so can we.

You all don't give Norrington enough credit. (chuckle) Me thinks you'll all see the lad a mite differntly after the next film. (Hubba, Hubba!!) Poor Keira. Hmmm... a different light, huh, Bess? is that good or bad? Or should I say he's turning good or bad? Poor Norrington. Actually, I thought Norrington was spot on. VERY much the Gentleman. Which made him interesting. I was happy & some people I know were shocked .. that the Brits in their didn't appear to be fearful chickens or evil devils as portrayed in previous period films. Especially with Murtogg & Mulroy who are just FABULOUS! Groves & Gillette.. hehehe, they each play off Norrington so perfectly... Groves being great.. so sweet... & VERY handsome, too! Oh, aye! The minor characters like Pintel, Ragetti, Koehler, Twigg, Bo'sun, Jacoby, Mallot, Grapple (God rest his soul), Gibbs, AnaMaria, Cotton, Marty, Groves, Gillette, Murtogg, Mulroy, .. & a whole slew of others.. made the film a wild adventure as well! Adding to the principles so well! :) Just hoping & wishing to see more merchandise... mostly what I see out there is just Will & Jack - 2 tyles of shirts, the blanket throw, some stickers ( which amazingly enough I saw one sheet with more than just Jack & Will! OMG!).. LOVE the patch of the skull & crossed swords!.. & the Aztec Gold made available by Master Replicas? FABULOUS! Loving it... I wear it.. & people recognize it... "Hey! Pirates of the Caribbean"! A couple boys were like.. "Oh,no! She's cursed!" I got a good laugh out of that one. Just told them.. "No, not cursed. Just a pirate!"

Wicked! Keep me informed on that, Royaliste. Perhaps then there may be a pirate or nautical fest. :) I enjoyed "Ned Kelly" as it was kinda western-ish. Heath Ledger did a good job as Ned Kelly. Heath & Orlando just played off each other SOO well! I'd like to see those 2 in more movies together.

See, Longarm. Morgan would have them taught how to REALLY party. Being tied up in a basement.. cold, dark & damp.. is NO way to party... unless the cold was ice in the damp rum & coke in a dark room with a black light! ::Pats Morgan's back:: Poor, Morgan. Bloody bastards they are. Bad party blokes if you ask me for not throwin' ya a decent piractical celebration. Tis a crime to not party hearty in the proper piractical way. Maybe ol' Blackbeard needs to come & set them straight as well & show them a good celebration... like the one that lasts for DAYS! :)

...And the easily-slit-open corset! Let's not forget that! ... In fact, let's all think about io for a minute or two... or three... OK.. Pete... we'll have a specially made 18" Elizabeth Swann for ya... anatomically correct with the corset in velcro so as to rip it off her God knows how many times! Satisfied?

I'm hoping that one of the others will be Elizabeth. They need to make her in the majority of her outfits: the gold dress, the Barbossa dress & the Marines uniform. :) Though... Iron Bess mentioned a while ago about the need for Ragetti pictures. :) Just... looking forward to as many of the characters as possible! There are a LOT of them.

:::hugs:: my condolences, Will. Sorry to her about Amen. Poor thing. I know the feelin' of loosin' a pet. Lost Silver a month ago.. poor little fuzz. He was my baby, too. Wasn't even a year old, either! Just a kitten yet! ::Lights a candle for the kitty:: cats are a pirate's best friend.. they get rid of the bilge rats. Poor Amenhotep.... poor Will... Aye... salute to the pirate kitty!

:) AMEN, Sister! Why did that fashion have to fade away to only 200 - 300 years ago? ::le sigh:: The WHOLE weekend I am at a re-enactment, I have a smile upon my face. Yes.. men .. no matter what size, shape, age, etc... they ALL look good in 18th c attire. Be it fancy attire or shredded cloth hangin' on like you'd been through a tornado! Aye.. not much up this direction except the 19th c historically. But.. hopefully, changes will come about... cause I know a couple groups around Chicago who are expanding into F & I. :: le sigh:: we need to have pirate fests in Chicago around the time they have the tall ships visiting the area. I swear... nearly every year they have a couple come into the area.

Course they didn't have 882 pieces on the set.. everyone kept taking off with them! example,... Angus Barnett... guilty as charged! An here he's a good man under His Majesty's service... stopped the cursed pirates.. low & behold.. he's stolen one of the Aztec gold coins! Well... whoever dares to make the chest, I wish them well with that. Enjoying the merchandise... but it's not enough... alas.. all the merchandise out there is of Will & Jack! No Barbossa! No Elizabeth, no Norrington, no cursed pirates, or anyone else. Hence the standee I have of Barbossa is my greatest prize possession & favorite of all I have. Wish there were more Barbossa stuff... besides Will & Jack. Now.. just awaiting the little figurine.

Like that Captain Morgan commercial I saw a month or 2 back of everyon's leg permenantly stuck in that raised position like Morgan? Classic. :) Now.. did this happen around Fat Tuesday? Cause if it did.. & he has no beads or even anything to show he's been at a party... I'm inclined to agree with RumbaRue there.. IT'S NOT MORGAN! Somethings ALWAYS destroyed in his wake. :) This is beginning to remind me of the Garth Brooks song "Pina Colada"... if anyone remembers that one... plays a lot here, can't argue with it. "-Let's set sail with Captain Morgan, though we'll never leave dry land!-" I guess that's what they really did, didn't they?

:::in a devilish, tempting voice::: Take it... ya know ya want it.... Th' gooollldd ccaaaaaaaaaallllllss t' ya... So... who's gonna try to get 882 pieces of Aztec gold?
